The shortage of specific skills too often holds back the digitization of processes: a no-code solution helps bypass this complex situation, aiming for simplicity.
It is relevant, in fact, how the skill mismatch - the mismatch between labor demand and labor supply - has been a problem in our country for years, a factor that contributes to the slowdown in the digital transformation path of enterprises. Too often, organizations have very advanced technologies at their disposal, but not the personnel capable of using them-a stalemate that makes it impossible to fully exploit their potential. The same is true for IT solutions: in particular, the shortage of experienced programmers is an impediment to the proper implementation of Business Process Management models (BPM) capable of improving workflow.
In these cases, a cloud-based, outsourced managed and customizable solution without the need to know programming languages is what enables the company to embrace the path of process digitization, despite the lack of dedicated human resources or specific skills.
Digitization of processes, the problem of skills
I funds coming through the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRP) herald a scenario in which investments in skills, starting with the school education sector, will make it possible to overcome the age-old problem of the gap between the specializations desired by companies, which offer jobs, and the professionals actually present in the labor market: companies do not always find people prepared for the required tasks, especially in ICT.
This condition actually risks blocking the digital advancement of companies, as there is a shortage not of innovation but of the ability to use it correctly, profitably and forward-looking. Incentives for training, collaboration between vocational and other schools and the academic and corporate worlds aim precisely to address this critical front. In the meantime, it is important to consider how to not stand still but evolve despite a shortage of specialists capable of boosting the digitization process.
No-code applications for process digitization, the benefits
Taking process digitization as an example, in this global scenario No-Code applications based on native cloud platforms are a useful tool for implementing a revolution in the organization and management of workflows, while lacking figures such as programmers or computer scientists more generally. They are tools that are easily customizable, on which it is possible to implement changes without necessarily having to know codes and programming languages. This will provide you with an application built on your needs, which is extremely flexible and can be modified over time.
In particular, the advantages of "No-Code" can be summarized as:
- possibility of not allocate budget for specific training in programming: the no-code solution can be easily modified according to one's needs without the need for computer skills regarding codes and programming at a professional level;
- ability of the application to adapt quickly to the needs of the organization, with a major impact on business processes, which are redesigned with a view to optimization and simplification;
- positive implications on the workflow and consequently on the performance of work activities: knowing one's weaknesses and strengths, one will be able to intervene in a timely and precise manner on the solution by going to enhance the functions that can solve the most critical aspects of the workflow, making it faster and eliminating the snags. For example, in the manufacturing industry, the no-code application allows the company to be able to quickly build workflow prototypes, also involving external parties, and to make them usable by all the actors in the supply chain in a short time significantly faster than traditional application development of this magnitude. All of this, moreover, carried out without necessarily enlisting the support of IT specialists.
However, espousing the No-Code approach does not mean tackling the design of workflows alone: if you choose a cloud application provided by an experienced provider who is available to offer assistance when needed and to accompany platform users in digitizing processes, you will have valuable technical support available for every eventuality.
